Understanding +4 | -1
Which of the following cannot be the number of elements in the power set of any finite set?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
26
Option A (26) is correct because the number of elements in a power set must be a power of 2, and 26 is not a power of 2.

In a town of 10000 families, it was found that 40%40 \% families buy newspaper A,20%A, 20 \% families buy newspaper B and 10%10 \% families buy newspaper CC, 5% families buy newspapers AA and B, 3% buy newspapers B and CC and 4%4 \% buy newspapers AA and CC. If 2%2 \% families buy all the three newspapers, then number of families which buy AA only is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
3300
Option B is correct because by using the principle of inclusion-exclusion, the number of families buying newspaper A only is calculated to be 3300.

Let A={x∈R:∣x+1∣<2}   and    B={x∈R:∣x−1∣⩾2}.A = \left\{ {x \in R:|x + 1| < 2} \right\}{\text{ }}\,\,{\text{and }}\,\,\,B = \left\{ {x \in R:|x - 1| \geqslant 2} \right\}. Then which one of the following statements is NOT true?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
B−A=R−(−3,1)B - A = R - ( - 3,1)
The statement B−A=R−(−3,1)B - A = R - ( - 3,1) is NOT true because B−AB - A should be R−(−3,3)R - (-3, 3). Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
5 Easy

2. 35 % families own either a car or a phone

3. 40,000 families live in the town

Which of the following statements are correct?

If A={(x,y):x2+y2≤1,x,y∈R}A=\left\{(x, y): x^2+y^2 \leq 1, x, y \in R\right\} and B={(x,y):x2+y2≤4;x,y∈R}B=\left\{(x, y): x^2+y^2 \leq 4 ; x, y \in R\right\}, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
A−B=ϕA-B=\phi
Option C (A−B=ϕA-B=\phi) is correct because A is a subset of B, meaning all elements of A are also in B, so removing B from A results in an empty set.
